FEATURES OF NEW
AGRICULTURAL
BILL EXPLAINED
Minority Report Point* Out Many
Provision* of Interest to Farm
ers and Co-Operatives.
By Congressman Karl Stefan
The minority report of the house
agricultural committee which has
been working on the new agricul
ture bill for many weeks filed its
report April 30. This is a report
on house roll 7713 which took the
place of H. R. 5558 and H. R. 7088.
The majority report has not yet
been filed. Members of the agri
culture committee believe the bill
may not come up for action in the
house for several weeks due to the
fact that the banking bill is now
out for fifteen hours debate and
some rush bills may come in before
the rules committee gets to the
agriculture bill altho it had been
planned to get the agriculture bill
out next week. That seems impos
sible due to the fact that an open
rule was given the banking bill.
The minority report on the agricul
ture bill is most interesting in that
it refers to misinformation which
members feel has been given out.
They make it plain that the bill
has nothing whatever to do with
the extension or hindrance of the
triple A programs or processing
taxes or adjustments, that power
having been given to the secretary
of agriculture by the last congress.
The minority report reads in part
as follows:
“This is not a minority report in
the usual sense, as many of the
undersigned members of the Com
mittee on Agriculture favor several
provisions of the bill and desire to
reserve the right to vote for or
against H. R. 7713 on final passage.
Farm Legislation Not Political
“The subject of farm legislation
has not been considered by the
members of the Committee on Ag
riculture on the political or partis
an basis. All members of the
Committee are in general and
whole-hearted accord in any con-f
structive effort which seeks to re
store equality for agriculture and
make farming a profitable enter
prise.
“We are opposed to the further
granting of additional authority
and power by Congress to any
governmental agency or officer for
the purpose of regimenting farm
ers and the agricultural industry
of this country as is proposed in
certain sections of H. R. 7713.
Propaganda
“All members of Congress have
received scores of letters for and
against the AAA amendments.
Nearly all communciations have re
ferred to H. R. 5585, which bill has
been modified and broadened in
certain instances, and is now be
fore the House as H. R. 7713.
“Since April 1, 1935, members of
Congress from the Corn-Belt sec
tions have received hundreds of
letters from farmers who are mem
bers of the local Corn-Hog com
mittees requesting the continua
tion of the corn-hog and corn-loan
program.
“Neither H.R. 5585 or H. R. 7713
seeks to repeal or in anyw'ay cur
tail the present corn-hog or corn
loan program now in effect in the
Agricultural Adjustment Act, and
yet the originators of this propa
ganda, which no doubt was broad
cast by interested parties in Wash
ington to farmers in all sections
of the country, have sent out mis
leading information in order to
secure pressure for the passage of
H. R. 7713 which has nothing to do
with the continuation of the Corn
Hog and Corn-Loan programs.
Marketing Agreements and
Licenses
“In the hearing before the com
mittee, Mr. Chester Davis, Chief of
the AAA, and Secretary Wallace,
both stated that the existing law
conferred upon the secretary the
power to negotiate marketing
agreements and impose licenses.
As evidence of this fact, the com
mittee was advised that the Secre
tary had approved sixty-six mark
eting agreements and issued 7700
licenses to handlers, processors and
distributors. We were informed
that the necessity for the enact
ment of the license provisions of
H. R. 7713, was largely for the pur
pose of confirming and clarifying
powers already granted to the Sec
retary of Agriculture by the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act.
“It is difficult for us to under
stand the very indefinite and vague
reasons given by the officials of
the Department of Agriculture for
the necessity for this bill, when
they already claim the authority
and have acted thereunder by the
approval of a large number of
marketing agreements and licenses
unless it is the purpose of the Sec
retary to further tighten his con
trol over farmers and the handlers,
distributors and processors of farm
products.
"At the present time it is doubt
ful if any members of the Com
mittee has a clear conception of the
extent of the authority being con
ferred by the bill upon the Sec
retary.
A parent Exemptions
"While Section 4, of the bill,
definitely provide.- that no produc
er or retailer shall be licensed,
your attention is invited to the fact
that the moment this producer or
retailer atempts to sell commercial
ly any farm product, he immediate
ly becomes subject to all licensing
provisions of Paragraphs 1, and 2,
of said Section.
Import'd License
“Paragraph 3, of Section 4, gives
the Secretary the arbitrary right
with the approval of the President,
in order to carry out proposed mar
keting agreements to impose lic
enses upon processors, distributors,
and wholesale handlers of milk and
its products, tobacco, sugar cane,
sugar beets, and all other non-basic
commodities.
“Co-operative creameries, cheese
factories, fruit and vegetable as
sociations, livestock associations,
poultry asosciations, and other co
operatives and individuals and con
cerns dealing in farm commodities,
processedor otherwise, will be com
pelled, if the Secretary of Agricul
ture so decrees, to conduct their
business under a license issued at
his pleasure and according to rules
and regulations promulgated by
some government clerk, who ifluy
know nothing about the operation
of any grea^)jific industry, and
simply issue orders or regulations
to satisfy some whim or pet theory.
“The authority granted to the
Secretary of Agriculture is abso
lute and goes far beyond any auth
ority heretofore conferred upon
him by Congress. We do not say
that the Secretary will abuse this
additional authority, but we feel
that Congress is stepping on dang
erous ground should the additional
delegation be made.
Marketing Areas
“The Secretary is given the
authority to establish marketing
areas in order to make effective
marketing agreements. We are
opposed to the grant of this power
particularly as to nationally pro
duced agricultural products, as we
feel that it is contrary to any
American policy to arbitrarily es
tablish trade barriers between reg
ions and states in this country. No
legislative barrier should be erected
so as to interrupt the free flow of
commerce between the citizens of
various states.
Minorities
“Subdivision B, of Paragraph 3,
of Section 4, provides that produc
ers of two-thirds of the volume of
any commodity may propose a
marketing agreement, whereupon
the Secretary shall dictate the
terms and issue licenses to make
same effective. The terms of the
marketing agreement and licenses
could absolutely stop one-third of
the producers from having any
market whatsoever for their pro
ducts if they refused to sign the
marketing agreements.
Quotas and Allotments
“The provisions relating to the
estblishment of quotas and allot
ments by two-thirds of the produc
ers of any one commodity was
stricken from the bill. We do not
know' the reason for the elimina
tion of this important section as it
was a limitation upon the authority
of the secretary. The removal of
this limitation gives the secretary
unlimited authority to fix quotas
and allotments as to production
and marketing.
Development of Domestic and
Foreign Markets
“In addition to these provisions,
H. R. 7713 contains a separate and
new subject matter which deals
w'ith the disposal of surplus farm
products in foreign and domestic
markets under an arrangement
whereby the American producer
will receive a domestic price for
that part of his product which is
used in domestic consumption, and
making possible the disposal of
surplus farm commodities at world
price levels in foreign markets by
the payment to exporters of the
difference between the world price
and the domestic price. A large
majority of the membership of the
Committee on Agriculture favor
this plan, and.the undersigned min
ority feel that this proposal should
be considered by the present Con
.gress in a separate bill wholly
divorced from the many complic
ated sections relating to marketing
agreements and licesnses to which
provisions we are unalterably op
posed. We, also, favor the provis
ions of the bill relating to the pay
ment in kind and the grain storage
loan section of the legislation.”

The former governor polled 12,556
